Summary: Nokia 6200
Review: I've owned this phone for about three months.

Pros: Lightweight, can synch w/ Outlook Express, speakerphone(great), headphone, polyphonic ring tones, voice recorder, to do list, good sound from earpiece, side volume control, internet capable, fm radio(only accessible through headphone, voice dialing

Cons: Poor reception (in part due to At&t gsm network), occasional SIM card errors, occcasional no service errors, will not work in some rural areas, small keypad buttons, games, phone case hard to find

In spite of the pros I give this phone an average rating due to the poor coverage of the at&t gsm network. They should have gotten the bugs out before they rolled out the service. I replaced both the phone and the sim card and still have the poor reception and sim card issues.

Also couldn't find the nokia leather case so am using a small erickson that fits great.

Three stars.

Summary: Great Piece-effective may not be stylish
Review: If function is what your looking for, then this is a good piece. Great features, easily programable voice commands, used for easy data transfer over a USB or an infra red connect. I have had clear signal mostly over Missippi, Massachusetts, Nevada and S. California except for couple of places in Florida. Excellent easy touch organiser, and a good sharp alarm. However, the screen is a bit delicate and prone to scratches, so a lcd cover fixes that. Nokia could use a different color scheme instead of the Gold Leaf. Another thing to make it a top of the mark gadget, would be a connect to RJ 11 jack (to plug in a notebook modem socket). Overall, a very useful device, may not be stylish but definately functional.

Summary: pretty much a good all-round phone
Review: my previous phone was a nokia 7210 then i got this is one. the 6200 gets better much better reception compared to the 7210... problems with recepetion however is caused is the actual gsm service an not the actual phone.reception bugs should have been corrected before te service was released. i must say that the color screen is excellent and colors are vibrant and lively. the phone only comes with one pre-loaded game but more are available online along with ring-tones etc online from nokiausa.com. the address book is huge, you can store multiple numbers per contact and the address book synchs easily with outlook express. battery life was impressive, i got about 4 1/2 hrs talk time an stanby time was about 9 days. the polyphonic rings, stereo fm radio(headset must be connected however), infrared, speakerphone, organiser/calender, currency converter, voice activation are some of the many nice little features that this phone is literally packed with. the only downside that i fould was that there are really no accesories for the phone likes cases, front & back covers etc which u can generally get with other nokia's.

Summary: No phone is perfect. This one met my criteria.
Review: My requirements in replacing my aging (OK, 1.5 year old which was after having a StarTac for 2 years) Panasonic Allure were that the new phone be cooler, have a lower SAR rating, small, better speaker volume, and non flip. And since I replace phones every couple of years, had to be <$.... I got what I was looking for. Plus it syncs with my address book in Outlook via IR. The phone's polymorphic ring abilities are terrible. The screen is too small to really send messages. ATT GSM coverage is only slightly better than their digital coverage. But the volume is good and when I have long conversations I use a headset so I don't care that the phone speaker is tinny sounding. Reception is better at my house than with my old phone, and hopefully I'm toasting my brain a little less with the lower SAR. All my contacts are in the phone and updating them is a breeze. And the phone does have a bit of coolness. Next year's phone is gonna have blue tooth...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone Nokia did a great job
Review: Nokia finally stepped up, This is by far the best phone I ever owned. The reception is outstanding, and the battery lasts forever. I can't say anything bad about this phone, The radio has better reception than my car radio. The Internet is like lighting, and size is just right. My friend owns a Motorola T720 and the reception is bad, and the battery dies after two calls. My advice is get this phone, you woun't be disappointed.

Rating: 2 stars

Thanks.

Summary: Excellent business-class phone
Review: Pros:
- Excellent inbound and outbound sound quality from included earpiece, handset, and speakerphone.
- Above average RF reception.
- EDGE data connectivity.
- Easy connectivity to PC via IrDA or USB.
- Easy to use user interface with excellent contacts (address book) implementation.
- Ring tones suitable for business use (lots of non-musical ring tones).
- FM radio.

Cons:
- Sub par LCD quality (passive matrix display).
- No Bluetooth.
- No digital camera (may be a plus to some).

- A bit large.
- The battery cover does not close tightly (can be fixed by inserting a piece of paper).
- Not Mac OS X friendly.
- Only one game (and a poor one at that).

Although Nokia 6200 is about to be replaced with 6230, which features smaller body, improved LCD, digital camera, AAC/MP3 audio, larger memory, and MMC memory card slot, 6200 is still attractive for many reasons. For one thing, 6200 is affordable. 6230 will cost significantly more. Secondly, it just works. For many users, particularly to business-oriented users, 6200 has almost all the features you will need.

Let's start with the user interface. The 6200 is based on Nokia's Series-40 operating system, featuring a proven (if somewhat boring) user interface that is easy to master and easy to use. Contacts list works the way one would expect. Its implementation of profiles is among the best in its class. It's highly configurable.

Another nicety is PC sync capability. If your computer features IrDA (infrared) port, which many notebooks do, all you need to do is download Nokia's PC Suite (free). After installing, you can easily sync contacts, calendar, and to do list from Microsoft Outlook or via PC Suite's organizer. Yup, you do not need to enter phone numbers one by one. In addition, you can upload Java applications (including games), wallpaper, and new ring tones with ease, all without connecting to pricy mMode (GRPS/EDGE). Using your PC, just download from many free websites and upload them to 6200 for free! If your computer lacks IrDA, you can purchase Nokia's USB data connection kit. Sadly, the phone lacks Bluetooth.

Although 6200 is a business-oriented phone, it does have few frills. Among the most fun is FM radio. Although the feature requires plugging in the earpiece (or optional stereo headset or docking station), it works well and you can save and name stations for easier operation. Included game is pretty lame, but you can easily download more games or upload via IrDA or USB.

What else can I say about 6200? It is an excellent phone for those looking for professional looking phone with professional quality feature sets that simply works well, all without high price tag.

Summary: Solid phone
Review: Purchased the 6200 as a replacement for the horrendous 3595 offered by AT&T wireless as an introductory GSM phone. The 6200 signal/voice quality blows the 3595 away.

The ergonomics are awkward for those with larger hands, but after a few days of use, the keypad is tolerable.

The complaints posted here about "dust under the screen" are bizarre -- just take the back off the phone, snap off the front cover, and CLEAN the inside of the screen and the face of the LCD! It takes all of about 30 seconds ....


Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Annoying dust obscures screen
Review: This cell phone is cute and small and the screen is nice. But the screen attracts dust through the microphone holes, which then gets trapped under the glass, making it impossible to read the screen. My friend has the same phone, and the same problem. Unfortunately this one annoying disadvantage outweighs all the nice advantages of this phone. If you are still planning on buying it, get a plastic cover so less dust gets in.
